@dhh I've seen many extremely valuable and well-researched Wikipedia pages deleted for nothing but political reasons - usually thinly-veiled as not-notability or outright false questionability of sources. It's sad.
English
Sad to see what's become of Wikipedia, but I guess that's what happens when you think "our reverence for the truth might have become a bit of a distraction that is preventing us from finding consensus and getting important things done" (Katherine Maher, Wikimedia CEO, 2021).

@ChShersh @lauriewired @lisyarus @lemire @supahvee1234 @Waffl3x @lefticus @vaxryy @falco_girgis @StokeWillie @foonathan Thanks. I feel like tech discussions on the C++ level/layer kind of died down lately.

All, SSE4.2, AVX and AVX2, ISA extensions are available in 32-bit mode too, but MSVC recognizes the new switch only for 64-bit target.
You can still build 32-bit code with AVX. If you throw /arch:AVX, then it will generate SSE4.2 instruction in 32-bit code too.
But it's not possible to set the cutoff at SSE4.2 which would be the most reasonable for 32-bit code today.

@JanRingos Isn't it available for x86-64-v2 only?

@chainloaded @angelroom0 I've personally not bought several titles because of prominent cheating, both in multiplayer and challenge leaderboards, so I'd say it had real-life consequences to their income.
English
@angelroom0 Drivers are supposed to enable compatibility with hardware and facilitate security.
Preventing some kids from running cheats in a video game with 0 real life stakes at all does not justify running obfuscated kernel code that may endanger stability and tampers with the system
English
you asked i delivered or something, somewhat
We need kernel anti-cheats, like actually need them.

I think it's very telling of the critics that all I've gotten is basically people telling me things are too complicated and should be easier to understand No man, the technology that makes metal run programs is inherently going to be super hard, I can only abstract it so much

I'm currently working on a project that uses __vectorcall for a whole solution via /Gv, so I probably view it as more feasible and less problematic than it actually is.
If MSVC would start inventing ideal calling conventions for every internal call, it would be awesome for performance, but probably absolute catastrophe for everything beginning with debuggers and ending with Detours. I'd still love it though.
With APX, being as huge as it is, I almost expected Windows to come with a new kernel built with it. Treating it as just /feature:APX doesn't really feel like it's doing it justice.
English
@JanRingos @LinkedIn x86-64 does have alternate ABIs like verctorcall, but they are boutique ABIs, used in intimate contracts, not hyper-reusable API interfaces. Technically, compilers can make their own ABI (add registers) between transitive-closed calls to non-exposed APIs.

@docsmsft Absolutely not. Registry is superior in all regards.
The only thing missing is simple binary import/export of subkeys with proper support for ACL inheritance.
English
If Windows were designed today, would the Registry still exist? Mark Russinovich breaks down how the Registry works—and why a more flexible, file-based configuration model might win out in a modern design.

@m_schuetz I'd like to be able to write something like:

Hmm, SEC_LARGE_PAGES don't count towards process commit, but MEM_LARGE_PAGES do.

More often than not I've seen people steal clean memes and slap their watermark on it. I know a handful of mine got that treatment.
So if they didn't know it was from you, perhaps it wasn't ill-intentioned action. But of course, reverse searching for the original is always the best action.
English
They removed the watermark from my cartoon.

Woke is a death cult that executes common sense and devours anyone who tells the truth It spreads insanity like a plague and turns mental illness into the new standard Worst of all, it has turned pure evil into a religion and demands we worship it

@AnnatarTheMaia Real world data coming into a system aren't uniformly random, thus the low-quality output of std::rand is better match.
Or do you mean C++ as a whole thing, lol?
English
@JanRingos And I firmly maintain, after having put the bread on the table programming in C++, that it is absolute garbage, no matter which additional, complicated gimmick is added to it. You can't polish a turd.
English
And I firmly maintain that 'std::rand' is better than 'std::mt19937/std::uniform_int_distribution' for real-world comparable benchmarking.

Man minding his own business gets randomly menaced and harassed by this guy…
What would you do in this situation?

And we're live with all todays builds! Thank you Insiders for patience as we had a slight publishing delay, we hope you enjoy today's Taskbar and Start announcements!

@windowsinsider Can we get SDK for Experimental channel?
Just as a peek under the hood.

@Studio384 And allowed plain Win32 apps to use them, not lock them behind UWP managed packaging or whatever is it called.

Maybe a hot take, but Microsoft should never have killed of Live Tiles and just have expanded their capabilities and used them as widgets instead.
Even if they made widgets pinable to the desktop, right now, they don't really have any widgets I'd want to use.
Xeno@XenoPanther
@zacbowden Wasn't there talk of widgets on the desktop a a year or two ago? Whatever happened to that

So I just went and finally implemented it:
